Why is that gravity is weak at the quantum level?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Gravity is always weak. Why? We don't know.
It just happens to be the most important force for astronomic objects as gravity has no opposite charges, so more mass always means more gravitational force.
 
Aren't there some explanations? Or at least theories that TRIED to explain this?
 
There are some ideas, but not in the way you would say "oh, it is obvious gravity is weak!". This is known as the Hierarchy problem.
 
Thanks!
 

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
